| Obverse description | Salmon-pink Notgeld note with two central oval vignettes framed by elaborate rococo scrollwork: the left vignette contains the Leobschütz civic lion rampant within the circular legend 'Der Leobschützer de Ursche Leu', and the right vignette bears the German imperial eagle with the surrounding inscription 'Bleibt stets dem deutschen Adler treu'. The denomination '75' is placed in each upper corner, with the title 'Fünfundsiebzig Pfennig' spanning the head of the note. A rectangular panel below the vignettes carries the issuing authority text, three manuscript signatures, the validity clause 'Gültig bis 31.12.22', and the printer's imprint 'FLEMMING-WISKOTT A.-G. GLOGAU' at the foot. |

Leobschütz — now Głubczyce in southwestern Poland — was a Prussian administrative seat in Upper Silesia, and this 75 Pfennig note was issued during the plebiscite and partition crisis that carved the region apart between Germany and the newly reconstituted Polish state. Magistrate-issued Notgeld of this period often served a dual function: genuine small-change substitute during coin shortages, and regional identity statement at a moment when that identity was literally being voted on.
Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau handled a substantial volume of Silesian municipal Notgeld during these years, which occasionally makes attribution tricky when plates were shared or reused across nearby towns.
